Sri Lanka 422/4 at Stumps on Day 2

Scorecard



Jayawardene (136) exploited a perfect batting strip at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground to slam his 23rd Test ton while Warnapura (115) notched up his second ton as the hosts reached a commanding 422 for four at close on the second day.



The right-handed Samaraweera (111 not out) than had his moment of glory at the fag end of the day by scoring his seventh Test century on what turned out to be a nightmarish day for the visitors.



The fluent Jayawardene stole the limelight by scoring his ninth century at the SSC, thus becoming only the second player after Sir Don Bradman to hit nine centuries at a particular venue. The Australian legend had hit nine centuries at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.



Tillakaratne Dilshan (20) was giving Samaraweera company at the crease at stumps with the hosts putting themselves on course for a mammoth first innings total.
